Waste within the construction industry has been the subject of several research projects around the world in recent years. The lean manufacturing is a popular means of continuous improvements that have reshaped manufacturing process, practices and principles globally. Originating from the construction industry, the approach has been used extensively in the manufacturing sectors. Lean manufacturing centred around the philosophy of continuously improving performances by consistently eliminating wastes. Lean construction considers construction wastes as potential wastes that hinder the flow of values to the client and should be eliminated. The aim of the study is to advance knowledge in construction site waste minimization through the lean principles. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of lean principles in construction using key performance indicators. KPI can be used to help a group to describe their ideas in a pictorial form which has been applied in many different areas; elimination of waste, shifts in organizational behaviour, procurements, quality, and delivery as fast as possible, continuous improvements. After the step, the KPI will be evaluated using those results from which, it will be concluded that, how the construction companies can apply in construction firm its continuous improvements.
